Ok, so last night TJ needed some food so while I was at the pet store I went to see if they had an rosies/comets. Well, they had rosies...so I got 8/$1.00 and went home with them...of course TJ will eat them he's not picky, but hwo exactly do I get Herbs interested....he sems afraid of the fish splashing in the water dish...the very shallow water dish. I tried scenting the fish, but it didn't work...how do I catch his interest?
Thanks.
Kevin

Re: Rosies....=]
You can give him a deeper dish and leave them in there with him. Good chance there would be a few missing in the morning

Re: Rosies....=]
Rosies are not good to feed to often, but if you need to use them in a pinch, you can.
either guppies, or go to the grocery store and get some fresh Salmon, Trout or tilapia, cut it into fishy sized pieces and feed what you need to and store the rest in the freezer... convienient, safe, and much cheaper than live feeders!!!
you use pinkes and nightcrawlers too?Mother of many snakes and a beautiful baby girl! I am also a polymer clay artist!

Re: Rosies....=]
I see. He diet mostly has been nightcrawlers. I was going to try pinkies, but I'm not sure he is big enough...he has a very small head. And yeah as of this morning there are no missing rosies from the dish...=/
